How to install on macOS
Eleven Claude skills that run a YouTube channel: scripts off 21 hook formulas with a scored hook, title and thumbnail linted as one pairing, an edit decision list from your transcript, a retention reader that finds where viewers actually leave, a Shorts cutter, and a virality engine. Free, MIT.
Saved setup from just now
Will it work on macOS?
Paste this into Claude:
https://github.com/Jakeschincariol/youtube-agent-skill
Install this skill, then confirm /yt-script works.
Or do it yourself, in Claude Code:
git clone https://github.com/Jakeschincariol/youtube-agent-skill.git
cp -r youtube-agent-skill/skills/yt-* ~/.claude/skills/
Or as a plugin:
/plugin marketplace add Jakeschincariol/youtube-agent-skill
/plugin install youtube-agent
Project-local instead of global: copy the same folders into your repo's .claude/skills/. No Claude
Code at all? Paste any single SKILL.md at the top of a chat and it runs as a mode. You lose the six
Python tools, which is most of the point of /yt-script, /yt-retention and /yt-edit, but the
rest works.
Then spend ten minutes on templates/voice.md. Copy it to
~/.claude/youtube/voice.md and fill it in, or send Claude three of your own videos and say "write
my voice.md from these". Every skill reads that file. It matters more here than anywhere else,
because you have to say the words out loud.
Then run bash setup.sh. It stops at the first error and is safe to run again. Servers and tests aren't started; it lists them at the end. Read it first.
Needs Git: xcode-select --install
git clone https://github.com/Jakeschincariol/youtube-agent-skill.git cd youtube-agent-skill
